I picked up a Turnigy balance adapter #S to 6S. I used it for he first time this am, 2-3S packs, seriesed together for 6S charging. I first charged 2 3S 5000mah 30C batts w/ no issues at all. I unhooked it and began hooking up my better set of 5800mah 40C packs. When I went to plug the second 3S balance plug into the board, there was a "pop" with sparks and smoke. I double checked everything to see if I did something wrong.. nothing I could see... I disconnected the - to + connection for the series hook up from batt to batt and pluged in the balance adapter, everything went together fine. I plugged the + to - back together and we had fire. Huge pop, burnt my thumb, and destoyed 2 5.5 bullets. I took it all apart, cut the shrink wrap off the new balance adapter and checked every connection w/ a multimeter to see if something had crossed. Everything checks out fine. I checked the balance ports on the batteries. Both checked out fine. I plugged each battery into the charger seperately.. everything was fine. Any ideas?????
